From ABS-CBN online:
Opposition leader Sen. Panfilo Lacson on Tuesday revealed that three people in the government asked for millions of dollars in kickbacks for the P329-million national broadband network (NBN) deal with China’s ZTE Corp.
Lacson referred to the three people as “a Commission on Elections official” the “big one and little one.” The senator said the COMELEC official was supposed to get $55 million in kickbacks and $75 million for the “big one” and the “little one.”
He said that officials of ZTE Corp., the Chinese firm awarded the broadband project, were also asked to allot $68 million for the administration’s campaign kitty in the last May elections.
Lacson, quoting a source privy to the deal, said the kickbacks have not been fully distributed to the three officials. He said that according to his source, at least one group had received $5 million.
The senator declined to name the people who received kickbacks from the Chinese firm but said they are all government officials.
He also revealed that the NBN project was originally awarded to ZTE Corp. with a $130 million contract price. He said ZTE Corp.’s bid was the lowest compared to the offers made by other firms.
However, he said ZTE Corp. officials were forced to jack up the price because of the pressure coming from the corrupt government officials.
He dubbed the ZTE deal as “the great grandfather of all scams” for allegedly being worth almost three times the cost of` the project.
“For insatiable government officials, 100 percent overprice is just too much for the taxpayer. Here is a scam that costs 300 percent more than it is actually worth,” he said.
Meanwhile, Senate President Manuel Villar Jr. said he had already asked lawyers of the Senate to study the possibility of investigating the NBN deal, which involves COMELEC Chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr.
Villar said he made the order as House members had signified their intentions to file an impeachment complaint against Abalos.
Akbayan Rep. Ana Theresia “Risa” Hontiveros-Baraquel said the opposition still lacks documentary evidence to impeach Abalos. She said that aside from the ZTE deal, opposition congressmen will also gather evidence of Abalos’s repeated electoral offenses.
She said the opposition may tap businessman Jose P. de Venecia III, cofounder of Amsterdam Holdings Inc. and son of Speaker Jose de Venecia Jr., to provide evidence against Abalos.
She said opposition members of the House will try to collect evidence for Abalos’s impeachment case in two to four weeks.
Nueva Vizcaya Rep. Carlos Padilla has accused Abalos of helping ZTE bag the NBN deal by offering bribes to senior government officials. He said the country’s top election official also offered $10 million to AHI to withdraw from the project.
Abalos has denied the accusations.
Padilla questioned the contract’s approval without a public bidding and the move of the Philippine and Chinese governments to enter into a loan agreement to finance the broadband network.
The $329-million NBN contract with ZTE Corp. is one of the target beneficiaries of a $1.8-billion loan agreement between the Philippines and China. The project aims to provide broadband services to all government agencies nationwide by 2010.
AHI and US-based Arescom have protested the ZTE contract for being grossly overpriced. AHI offered $240 million for the NBN project while Arescom offered $130 million.
AHI officials said they are willing to disclose the details of the company’s involvement in the NBN project before the courts or in an investigation by the House of Representatives.
“On Aug. 3, 2007, AHI formally asked [Department of Transportation and Communication] for a copy of its contract with ZTE. It has been more than a month since our written request, and quite a few months since we made informal overtures with DOTC officials to obtain a copy of the contract. To date, DOTC has not even acknowledged receipt of our request, much less provided us a copy,” AHI spokeswoman Marinelle B. O’Santos said in a statement.
She added: “AHI has been seeking redress for a number of months now. It has been a lonely and uphill battle from the start – until now. AHI is heartened and encouraged by the serious interest shown by the public, particularly the media, in getting to the bottom of the controversial National Broadband Network.”
If the three are all government officials and IpDye claims he’s not, then we can draw our own conclusions on who the “little one” is! My, my, my..this little one is really so malakas.
Beyond max na ang shame and scandal at EK!
The senator said the COMELEC official was supposed to get $55 million in kickbacks and $75 million for the “big one” and the “little one.”
***
Pinakamalaki pala ang share ni KOMOLEK official. Kung hindi si IpDye ang isa diyan, magkano kaya ang para kay “little one”?!
Wow, sobra-sobra ang dagdag sa project na ito, no wonder ng hindi pumirma si Neri ay itinapon siya sa CHED! At kaya nag-disappear ang mga original documents kuno.
“Last hurrah” ni Abalos, at last hurrah na rin ni Big One and Little One.
“..kickbacks have not been fully distributed to the three officials”, ilang porsiento na kaya ang nasa bulsa ng tatlong itlog?!
If the Chinese gave “the $68 million for the administration’s campaign kitty in the last May elections” up front, they are dumb! If so, they can say good bye to that ‘initial investment’ of theirs because thier ZTE project is almost as good as gone.
Extraordinary kapal ng mukha ng “laki-liit” team! Kapal ng mukha.
Anyway, Ping as the Nike advert says, “Just do it!”
For the Chinese team from ex-Red China to get to the top, get hold of Abalos’ balls, gotten hold of Mendoza’s batok and initiate Teves to boot in the secrets of dealing with the Chinese as well as get Gloria to witness the signing of the deal in China at a time when election period was ongoing (not to mention that there is a ban on members of cabinet signing contracts on behalf of government during election period), the members of the Chinese ZTE team must have a good LOCAL Chinese-Pinoy lobbyist group inside Malacanang…
$68M for the adminstration’s campaign kitty in the last May elections.
***
Patunayan! And all those who won via this deal should be declared non-winners. Mahirap TOH na patunayan, pero iyong 3 itlog ay madali.
“…there is a ban on members of cabinet signing contracts on behalf of government during election period”
Anna,
This falls under electioneering, di ba?
“For insatiable government officials, 100 percent overprice is just too much for the taxpayer. Here is a scam that costs 300 percent more than it is actually worth,”
***
Sonomagan! Nail those involved Ping, and you have my 300% commitment!
Hahahah! “laki-liit” team sa EK, kilalang-kilala!
Chi,
I think so, nay, am pretty sure… Had Abalos been doing his job properly and correctly instead of playing golf and extending his game to the 19th hole in China, should have warned Mendoza that he had no right to sign that blasted contract!
E paano naman, busy siya sa 19th hole sa Tsina! Gago!
Anna,
I remember this was the “big event” that Gloria witnessed in China while IpDye was very sick kuno. Even the husband is nothing when it comes to a big share of commission. Baka ayaw isama ang asawa, ibibigay lang kasi kay Toh!
I stand by my opinion that Gloria is more corrupt than IpDye!
Sama-sama together sila sa EK hanggang merong anomalous projects. Feast on until you die, SOBs! Mabulunan sana kayo at mangisay na lang!
Corruption at the highest level iyan between China and RP. Dapat kumilos na din ang pamahalaang Tsina. I know Chinese officials are as corrupt but when scandal of this magnitude comes out in the media and the international community knows this, hindi tatahimik ang China. Parurusahan nila ng bitay ang mga sangkot na officials nila. Lalo na’t malapit na ang World Olympic sa Beijing. The Chinese are very sensitive to such matter. Expect a rift in relation between China and RP as a result of that high scale bribery and corruption. Parehong kasalan ang tumanggap at iyong nagbigay. Dapat tuloy-tuloy ang investigation. Hindi na ito biro!
Anna,
Abalos only saw the color of money. Cornered!
Yehey, hindi na makakatakbo ng asylum si goyang labandera sa China pati na rin ang abaloslos kasi binukulan nila ang mga tsekwa!!!
Takbo nalang sila after 2010 sa R.O.I.S.(Republic of Ilocos Sur).
gloria labandera, walang pinakamabagsik na Chlorox ang pwedeng magtanggal sa mantsa ng pagkagahaman na patuloy na sumisikil sa mga maliit na katulad namin.
subalit ang senyas ay ibinando na:”I’m in my fighting mood”. Malapit ka na. Kaunting-kaunting now na lang!
Ang sabi nga nila: Away ng mga Gloria boys ang ZTE scam deal.
It’s a big problem for Malacanang if it’s a war or fight among Gloria boys. Not long ago, Speaker De Venecia and Cong. Garcia had war for days until Gloria stepped in. Ngayon, hindi lang sa tahimik na si Garcia, tinanggap pa ang isang position sa Kamara. Ganoon din nangyari sa away nina Teves at Committee on Appointment ni Pichay. Biglang nawala ang gulo.
That’s another big scandal involving members of COA. Maraming nabulgar, naimbestigahan pa pero sa huli ay nawala din. Kung minsan tuloy, sawang-sawa na ako.
The ZTE Corp. broadband $329 misdeal is just a tip of the iceberg. Hello Ben Abalos! Hello Jose Pidal! Hello Gloria! The vultures in the corrupt Arroyo government had a frenzy day. Gloria Arroyo and her cohorts have sold our country to China. Secret deals and anomalous agreement with China to explore Philippines’ natural resources, mines, alienable lands and sea-aquatic explorations.
In the RP-China Agreements, our government agencies are contractually-bound to look for more than one million hectares of land to be leased out to approximately five Chinese corporations. 1.4 million hectares of land to 5 Chinese corporations. How about the US$ 465.5 million Cyber-education project? Maybe it’s another misdeal. Unfortunately, Filipino taxpayers have to shoulder these behest loans. Death by hanging to traitors!
Mr. Guerrero, ang basa ko niyan ay simple lang. Since Gloria is soon to go, she and her cohorts are working overtime to steal people’s money. Isip niya tutal noon pa sila nagnanakaw eh bakit hindi pa hustuhin. That’s why we can see that a day passes without seeing one scandal after another.
Tama ka. Big time at small time kurakot pareho ang kasalan. Kaya lubusin na. Away ng mga buwaya itong ZTE misdeal pero summa total ang taumbayan nasa-sagasaan.
Pihadong masibang baboy iyong ‘big one’ at mother ng mga tiyanak iyong ‘little one’.
Ayon kay Mr. Jake Macasaet ng Abante…
****
Bakit hindi nila depensahan o kaya ay ipabasura ang maruming kontrata? Iisa ang hinala ng maraming tao.
Malaki na ang perang pinakawalan ng ZTE na sinuhol sa ilang matataas na opisyal. Ang pinakamalaki – $25 million – ay napunta sa isang mataas na opisyal. Ang tatlo pang iba ay tumanggap ng $5 million bawat isa. Sila ngayon ang nag-iingay at nagtuturuan. Ginagawa nila ito para pagtakpan ang naging papel ni GMA. Iniiwas nila ang Pangulo sa puwedeng pagkasangkot sa malaking kurakutan.

All fingers point to Gloria!
Re: Takbo nalang sila after 2010 sa R.O.I.S. (Republic of Ilocos Sur)
There’s no guarantee that Gloria and Jose Pidal will have safe haven Ilocos Sur province after 2010. Chavit cannot protect them forever in case they seek refuge in his Fort Baluarte. The Cordillera Mountains are infested with NPA’s. CPP founder Jose Maria Sison is a native of Cabugao, Ilocos Sur. Saan sila tatakbo? Malawak ang South China Sea at maraming pating doon. Opss..teka, palagay ko ayaw ng pating kainin ang hybrid na baboy at tiyanak.
Tama ka, Manong Diego, yung NBN, testing pa lang yan. Mas masahol yung kupit sa Cyber-Ed project, ZTE din yun.
Sinabi ko na noon dito na ang conduit ng lagayan ay ang local contractors na magsasagawa ng actual installation. Malilintikan ang board of directors ng ZTE sa China dahil mahirap iliquidate ang ganoon kalaking lagay na hindi mapapansin ng regulatory body kagaya ng SEC natin. Maiiskandalo ng husto pati ang Beijing Srock Exchange dahil nakalista ang ZTE doon. Baka maging mitsa pa ng pagbagsak ng financial markets ng China kung ganoon kalaki ang magiging epekto ng iskandalo.
Yung Cyber-Ed balak lang naman ikonekta sa internet ang lahat ng public schools sa Pinas at sabay na ipalalabas ang mga leksiyon sa bawat classroom. Para raw ma-standardize ang quality ng lessons at matugunan yung kakulangan ng mga guro.
Bakit pa? Meron namang tatlong government TV stations, na wala naman yatang nanonood doon, bakit di na lang sa TV? Mas murang di hamak na magtayo ng matayog na directional antenna kada eskuwelahan at bigyan ng tig-iisang TV. Bakit pa magtatayo ng broadband network ULI samantalang meron nang NBN, bukod sa pribadong network ng SMART, GLOBE, DIGITEL, maging cable TV channels na capable ng cable-internet?
Tama rin ang hinala ni Lacson na ang isang government network na gawa ng isang foreign country ay isang national security issue dahil madaling gawing mamonitor ng isang dayuhang bansa ang lahat ng transaksiyon sa gobyerno, maging ang komunikasyon sa VOIP ay maaaring i-convert sa mga dokumento sa pamamagitan ng Voice Recognition Technology at maaaring i-translate ng mga supercomputers ng China kahit pa anong dialect o lengguwahe iyon.
Ang ikinadududa ko, bakit nananahimik na si JDV? Sa Amsterdam Holdings ba ia-award ang local portion ng deliverables at sila ang magkokontrol ng daloy ng kwarta mula sa ZTE papunta sa mga suhulang opisyal?
Sabi ni Lacson, ito raw ang great grandmother of all scams, pero dito sa Ellenville, alam natin na ang energy scam in the making, courtesy of PNOC, NAPOCOR, PSALM, ERC, WESM, Angelu Reyes, at yung “Magtiyuhing Garapal” ay sampung doble ng halaga nitong ZTE scam.
Gayunpaman, tama si Lacson ng sabihing “With ZTE, Jocjoc Bolante now looks more like a cell phone snatcher.”
Unbelievably insatiable greed!
Thanks, Tongue.
Nakakasuka ang kakorapan nina Gloria! Mukhang ilulublob ng husto sa putikan ang Pinas bago sila umalis with tone-toneladang dolyar.
Ikansela lahat ang overpriced projects. Hindi kailangan ng public schools ang Cyber-Ed project…si Gloria lang ang nangangailangan niyan.
Ibinebenta ni Gloria ang Pinas sa mga terorista at Tsina!
P2 trillion worth of IT projects in the pipeline
By Tony Bergonia
Inquirer
Last updated 04:30am (Mla time) 09/05/2007
MANILA, Philippines — The controversial National Broadband Network (NBN) and Cyber Education Project (CEP) would sink the country deeper in debt because the government already owns other broadband networks and 31 information and communication technology (ICT) projects that have a combined cost of more than P2 trillion.

Anak ng tungaw!
Imagine ang pagbabayarin sa ma-anomalyang project na ito ay ang taong bayan na nagkakandakuba na maka-survive at kumita ng kahit man lang pangkain araw-araw! Ang pinakamasakplap at ubod ng garapal ay pati ang ‘kickback’ ng mga walanghiyang ganid na corrupt officials ay tayo rin ang magbabayad. Kung wala ang mga oposisyon na nagbabantay at sumisita sa mga tiwaling gawain ng administrasyon ni Gloria ay patuloy tayong nagagago! Mga wala talagang puso ang mga nakaupo! SOBRA NA! TAMA NA! IBASURA NA ANG IMPYERNONG GOBYERNO NI GLORIA!
Chi, pardon me but what is tungaw?
Chi,
Hind na aalis ang mga Pidal sa Malacanang. If Filipinos will not do anything now, they will be at the palace by the murky river forever.
Iyong payola sa mga judges ng korte grabe that the claim on the Philippines by some relatives of the creeps may be granted, and then, they, too, will start claiming Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao as theirs just like when the hallucinatory IpDyi claims that his Chinese grandfather put claim on all lands his white horse could travel to and why he was able to own Marikina.
That, actually, can be disproved by the fact that majority of lands in greater Manila, Rizal, Laguna and Batangas were owned by the Catholic Church, and Chinese coolies were not given such privileges to own lands or properties except at designated areas like the Parian even when they manage to marry themselves off with some daughters and sons of the mestisos fathered by the Spanish friars!
Kaya nga nagkaroon ng big uprising in the 20’s and 30’s by the Sakdalistas in the so-called rice granaries in Luzon. They prostested against the failure of the US occupation to get the lands from the priests, implement a land reform and stop landgrabbers from grabbing forest lands the peasants were given permission to clear and own.
Apparently, nothing has improved, and it has become worse with these creeps imagining themselves as royalty and owners of the over 7,100 islands that make up the Philippines. Kung ako naman, I would not allow myself to be a subject of these creeps! Best, sipain na, now na!
Si JDV ay malamang naghihintay lang ng parte kaya medyo tahimik. Kailangan huwag tantanan at baka ma-swept under the rug ang kasong ito. Bakit hindi pa kasuhan ang mga obvious na may partisipasyon para sumabog na ng tuluyan!
The truism that to conceal a lie it has to be covered by another lie which must in turn be covered by more lies, ad infinitum, is a perfect fit for the ZTE deal the signing of which was witnessed by none other than Ate Glue. Starting as an amusing comedy, it has become a bizarre farce and a blatant display that indicates a dangerous desperation. Let us see if Abalos can extricate himself from this entanglement as easily as he did with his chance meeting with the parents of Migz in a hotel where he dropped by to cure a headache by slurping soup. Just as titillating would be how Ate Glue could disavow the witness role in a sordid affair.
Wow! Bilib na talaga ako kay tiyanak! Kaya naman pala may loyalty ang mga dogs niya and ready to die for her kasi magaling siyang mag-spread ng bounty sa mga “little ones”.
No wonder during the May elections ay biglang nawala ang bruha. I wondered what she was doing in China immediately after the May elections. I even thought that maybe she just did not like to see how her “Team Unity” fared. Yun pala nagmimilagro and “big one”! No wonder she could afford to give 150 million to each of her senatorial candidates. Chicken feed nga lang naman pala ang election expenses na ito! Ni hindi macalculate ng calculator ko yung equivalence ng $68 million converted to pesos! Billions of pesos na yun ah! Kaya naman pala si Abalaos ay tatawa tawa na lang habang si Bedol a patago-tago. Pa-soup soup pa sa hotel. Mantakin mo and mahirap na Pilipino ay inuulam ang ramen, kung mayroon man lang isang pakete para sa isang buong pamilya eh si Abalaos nagpupunta pa sa first class na hotel para mag-soup lang! Gahigante pala ang kita nitong magnanakaw na ito!
Hindi lang soup #5 sa Makati baka may pabaon pang brown envelope. Pero sa China may pabaon na Tsinita at bayag-ra. Sino kaya sa Comelec ang inambonan ni Abalos? Mantakin mo $55 M dollars komisyon ang kanyang huling hirit. Walang sinabi ang P1.5 B Mega Pacific vote automation misdeal.
Theft is petty at first and if undetected, the crime becomes a big business! Abalaos should write a book on “How to Get Ultra Super Rich in a Second”! His number one market should be China. Magiging best seller ang book niya!
AdB: Tungaw is a very very small insect that could get through your skin without you knowing. You will only feel its presence in you, because you will itch quite heavily. Ang kati kati. It sucks your blood..so tiny that you would not see it with your naked eye..it is red in color I guess from the blood it sucks. They thrive in thick wooded areas near the bank of a river or a stream. I remember it quite distinctly because when my family was hidden from the Japanese (I must have been 5 or 6) I guess in 1944-47 my playground was in these wooded areas. I used to cry a lot from the itch. My yaya used to prick it one by one from my skin. I have quite a fine and fair skin and how I suffered.
AdB: In Antique, where I grew up we have a lot of streams and wooded areas..and when you are small (putot like I am..I am but 4’11) and naughty and a pest .. “daw si tungaw ti mo.” is what you will be called. A linta is big and when they suck your blood and gets full they will just drop..a tungaw will stay..really a pest..
I understnd the son of JdV is with the other company interested in this project but their offer was higher than ZTE..I read that the “mark up” patong was 300 percent..kung ang precio was 100 and naging precio ay 300. Ang laki nga.
Payola? Bakit nagtataka pa ba kayo?
Diyan sila yumayaman, ang mga putragis na iyan!
In fact, galit na galit nga iyong mga involved sa sales ng Philippine patrimonies dito sa Japan sa akin noon and made me Philippine Enemy No. 1 despite my services to save the patrimonies from being squandered kasi hindi nila nakuha iyong customary 15% minimum gratuity. Kustumbre kasi iyong sa Japan charged to the buyer called “reikin” in Japanese. Siyempre kung involved mga malalaking tao sa gobyerno, mas malaki ang gratuity.
In short, kuwarta na nawala pa! Ang tindi! Ang masama, itong si Gloria Dorobo, pati sa ambassador dito ngayon, lihim daw ang transactions regarding the properties. Lahat na ngayon nilulutong makaw sa Pilipinas.
Ellen, may puede bang i-assign na maggalugad ng transaction na ito sa Manila. Please, pakiusap!
I don’t know if it was in this blog that I mentioned about the protest against this Chinese attempt to monopolize Internet connections in Asia.
One thing that we are protesting in fact in Japan is the attempt of the Chinese to control blogging such as this activity in Ellenville.
Siguro dapat imbestigahan mabuti ito especially with the involvement of these Comelec commissioners, and reason in fact, why I am against the plan to have absentee voting done through the Internet. Hindi puedeng pagkatiwalaan ang Comelec as a matter of fact. Pati nga iyong voting by mail in designated places, nababoy! Tapos kasabwat itong mga intsik? Wala na, lalong malulutong makaw ang election!
Tahimik si FVR at si Bunye..kasama ba sila sa Australia?
Bush is also attending..Sisiksik si Gloria pa ra maka “Hello Partner” siya. Puede bang mag attend ang asawa..ang sabi hindi siya gov’t official. Ano ang role niya..patambaytambay? seguro he will take his own private tour of the place..
If it was JDV’s son that engaged in such a deal, JDV certainly had a hand on it or at least had a role in the negotiation. Alangan naman hindi alam ng tatay? Baka nga ginamit lang ni JDV ang anak niya. Both sides (Abalos and JDV son) were rivals. One represented China while the other the US. Natalo ang isa. Kaya ayan, binulgar ng natalo. It’s a fight among thieves. The lesser evil could be JDV son but he’s still evil. If only for delicadeza, JDV shouldn’t have allowed his son to participate in this multi-million dollar deal even if the son works for the company. Kaya nga delicadeza. Biro niyo ang tatay Speaker of the House tapos ang anak nakihalo sa ganoon laking transaction. Hayaan na natin sila. Buking kung buking. Wala tayong pakialam basta lumabas lang ang katotohanan.
A sovereign loan is where the informal chain of command really applies. Its an inverted pyramid as far as the distirbution of the bounty is concerned. The broadband deal is supposed to be backed with a sovereign loan. Hopefully we can head it off from getting the deal out of the chopping block.
Rose,
Thanks for responding to Anna.
Hindi ko malimutan ang lesson mo sa tungaw. heheh!
Kinakati lahat ang mga alipores ng babaeng tungaw dahil sa laki ng partehan.
Yuko,
No one believes that the babaeng tungaw will leave Malacanang. Naka-glue na ang kanyang smelly ass sa trono. An kailangan ay sunugin ang Malacanang pero siguruhin na nandun siya sa loob na senglot para hindi makalabas.
Itong mga scandals ni Gloria only make Erap stronger than ever, kaya tuliro ang tungaw na babae kung ano ang gagawin kay Erap who becomes even more popular afte six years in confinement.
Si Gloria ay nangingisay na!
Hindi lang nangingisay si Impakta, lumiliit lalo. Etong ZTE scandal, di niyo ba napapansin tameme sina Enrile, Miriam at Joker? Just because Malacanang people are involved, these self-proclaimed best legal minds are silent. Pero kapag kalaban ni Madame Impakta ang sangkot, mabilis pa sa alas kuatro kung magdada sa press at media ang mga iyan.
Mahirap alisin ang tungaw once it goes under your skin..sa liit at siksik na siksik. You have to get a pin to prick it out.. tindi ang kati pag maraming pumasok sa katawan. Para bang poison ivy..it happened to me when I went to Grand Canyon..I love to walk around and I followed a path which was less travelled (mahilig din ako kay Robert Frost) going through the twigs I got the poison. I did not know what hit me..I had to go to the dr. immediately.
Chi: Cardinal Rosales is a disgust! Never heard siya sa akin.! I have heard of Bishop Villegas and I got the impression that he is a good preacher..marami siyang fans..Si Cardinal Sin called the to rally to junk Erap but this one did not lift a finger. ‘Ala eh akala ko Batangueno. Mas matapang pala ang aswang.!

Purpose niyan, Rose, I think, is to see the operation of his lobby office in Sydney that I understand was the operation taken out of Japan dahil hindi sila makahirit dito. Gustong makalibre—government junket! Ang kapal! Tindi talaga! 😛
Dapat iyan binabatikos ng media iyong amount of taxpayers’ money spent on the palakpak brigade that the unano always takes along with her para may papalakpak sa kaniya when she makes her kabulastugan! Pera ng bayan iyan—majority coming from remittances of the OFW. Dapat iniimbestigahan iyan kahit na walang mangyari as usual!
Tungaw? Iyan ba iyong kagaw na kuto sa ibaba na mahirap gamutin? O iyong sinasabing tick na may warning pirmi pang naglalakad ka sa grove sa Tate?
tungaw?
hindi ‘yan ang sanhi ng pangangati ng mga sinalibad ng lintek kundi ‘yung kagaw.
ang tungaw ay tanggal agad ang kati kapag natanggal sa balat subalit ang kagaw habang pinipilit mong tanggalin ay lalong kumakalat. dulo tuloy ay nagnanaknak ang kalamnan.
ganyan sila sa kanilang kasibaan!
hayup talaga!
naghihikahos na ang karamihan sa mga mamamayan ang mga demonyo ay walang inatupag at inisip kundi magpayaman!
itong si abalos ang buhay na halimbawa ng uri ng taong ang kahihiyan ay hiwalay sa katawan.
walang hindi gagawin ang ganitong uri ng tao upang mailihis ang katotohanan at mapagtakpan ang lahat niyang katiwalian.
kawawa na ang ating bayan! kung sino pa ang may matataas na tungkulin sa pamahalaan ay sila pang mga halimbawa ng talamak sa KAWALANGHIYAAN!
Maarte, bakit kamo tahimik na sina Enrile, Brenda at Joker? Paano, kung makikisawsaw pa sila, ay sobra-sobra ng overpricing ang mangyayari. Sagad na ang patong, kaya wala ng lugar pa na para madagdagan para sa kanila. Kung gusto nila makishare na lang sila sa mumo ng ‘for the boys’. In short, they would not like to waste time on this for nothing in $$$$ return. Money, money in US Dollars ang ninanakaw ngayon.
Magkano ang sinasabi nilang na-plunder ni Erap, ay baka pang toothpick lang ng mga Pidal? Sobra na sila, tuhugin na lang sila ng buhay katulad nuong doctor duon sa movie ns ‘Last King of Scotland’.
ellen,
puwedeng paki-forward mo sa akin kung saang supermarket nakakabili nitong payola spread? ano ba lasa nito?
puwede ba itong salad dressing?
siguro masarap din itong ipalaman sa toasted bread na may hinalong giniling na bubog saka natin ipakain kay abalaos, hane?
Rose,
As to Villegas being a good preacher. Good preaching (sermonizing?) does not make him a good priest, right?
Meron naman siyang right to disobey Rosales especially when righting a wrong, hindi naman siya robot.
Yuko,
Tatambay si IpDye sa isang sulok tapos ay pipituhan ang asawang tungaw kung dadaan na si Bush.
OK, Anak ng Kagaw! Mas lapat nga sa kanilang mga korap at nakadikit ang mga puwet sa pekeng upuan.
Hihihihi… “Maarte, bakit kamo tahimik na sina Enrile, Brenda at Joker? Paano, kung makikisawsaw pa sila, ay sobra-sobra ng overpricing ang mangyayari.”
Nowadays, nothing comes out from Miriam Santiago’s mouth but
defensive words for her boss in Malacanang. Dapat sabay sila ibitay ni GMA kapag bumagsak na itong administration!
MANILA, Philippines — Even without Executive Order No. 464, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo can still block Cabinet members’ and top military officials’ appearing before a Senate investigation into the “Hello Garci” wiretapping scandal by invoking her constitutional right to executive privilege.
“The Supreme Court merely invalidated EO 464. It never invalidated the constitutionally based doctrine of executive privilege,” said Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, a constitutional law expert.
$75M ‘grease’ (for the “Little One”) does not worry Corruption Queen Gloria, said Ermita.
Oh really, e bakit pinagtatakpan ninyo si Abalos? Kung meron mang tao na kinatatakutan si Gloria ngayon, walang iba kundi si Abalos. Hawak na siya sa “Hilo” Garci, hawak pa rin siya sa ZTE.
Wow, ang galing ng pekeng presidente ang daming accomplishments…sa corruption!
Garapalan na talaga, broad daylight na holpadan.Nagawa nga nilang mandaya sa election, yan pang ZTE.. Hanggang nasa payroll nila ang military walang magawa ang taong bayan. Unless mag-alsa ang taong bayan, thats a different story na siguro. Dahil malamang may babaligtad sa mga yan. Lahat ng kasamaan ay may katapusan rin iyan, be patient bigla na lang babaligtad ang mundo nila. Pray for our country na lang para hindi mapunta sa mga aso.
Re: doctrine of executive privilege
Mrs. Miriam Defensor-Santiago defined executive privilege as the President’s power to withhold information on state secrets covering diplomatic, military, foreign relations and other sensitive national security issues.
Election fraud, plunder, betrayal of public trust and confidence does not fall under state secrets. Anomalous secret deals, cheating, lying, deliberate cover-up, stealing the true mandate of the people are not sensitive national security issues. BTW, executive privilege only applies to duly elected president of the republic. Usurper Gloria Arroyo is a fake president. Brenda is always a brain damage.
Nawawala nga palagi si Brenda, Ka Diego.
Obsolete na ang kanyang dunong.
Kung wala silang itinatagong anomalya hindi na kailangan ng cover-up a.k.a. ‘executive privilege’ kuno. Wala sa lugar ang dunong ni Brenda.

Balik ka na lang sa AIM, bilib pa mandin ako sa iyo bago ka sumapi kay Gloria impakta.
Early in the InfoTech (IT) era, operators of IBM computers had a saying, “Garbage in, garbage out.” That adage has persisted in today’s giga-speed computers, but pumps out the garbage much, much faster. This gem of wisdom does not stray from the topic, rather it has something to do with the Cyber-Ed project which TonGue-T cited as ZTE din yun.
The Philippines and China inked a $1.8-billion loan agreement to finance ambitious projects in the country, including the controversial $330-million National Broadband Network (NBN), which took place without fanfare on the sidelines of the ASEAN Economic Ministers (AEM) meeting held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Makati City. Trade Sec Favila represented the Philippine government together with Finance Secretary Margarito Teves and Transportation Secretary Leandro Mendoza in the signing with Chinese Minister of Commerce Bo Xilai.
So, where’s the garbage? It is lurking somewhere within the murky depths of DepEd textbooks brimming with astounding errors that the project can disseminate at cyber speed.
The $1.8 BILLION agreement includes funding for the $450-million CyberEducation program, the NBN project with ZTE, as well as the Northrail and Southrail projects. And Heaven knows how many other flimflams and boondoggles. Pity that the outrage focus only on the Abalos-ZTE connection. The Palace, as expected, dismisses the protests as grousing and passes the buck to the court to abrogate the ZTE contract.
Neonate: You are absolutely right!..garbage in, garbage out..in other words..gloria in, gloria out.
Mrivera: yong kagaw, yong uod na gumagpang (smaller than a caterpillar) and usually found in acacia trees?.. mas makati nga yon pag dumapo. Tama kagaw nga,hindi na siya maliit pero lumalapad kahit hindi tumataas) kasi marami na siyang nadapuan kaya marami na ang nangangati..(abalos-los, teves, etc.) Saan na yong katialis at mapahiran..mayroon pa bang katialis?
Yuko: Yes tungaw is in the family of ticks..
Chi: Re-Villegas, I mean a good public speaker..ang laman ba ng sermon niya (I won’t say homily) ay brothers and sisters do what I tell you to do..but don’t do what I do..?
Maiba ako Chi we catholics are told to confess our sins to a priest..kanino kaya siya nangungumpisal..kay Cardinal
Rosales? Ano sa palagay mo?
Neonate,
Since you mentioned Southrail, I’d like it known here and serve as a reminder to all, that the original Korean-supplied Southrail project costs one-half that of the Chinese-supplied Northrail. The switching over of the south portion to China may smokescreen the overprice in the northern counterpart since there is no more comparison.
The project proponent for the original Korean-made system, a former consul to Japan who was frozen when Gloria stole power, is a family friend and has intimated his frustration that if it were allowed, his pet project would have been envied by many as it is efficient, up to specs, and very much cheaper, unlike Northrail’s obsolete, substandard, and grossly-overpriced rails and wagons.
Stupid me, I forgot to ask him how much the Koreans threw in for the Whore! That would have made the big difference, I’m sure. After all, the Rats in Pasig River are all KOREANS!
Pag may project, tanong kaagad nila, magkano ‘KO RIYAN?
Rose,
Palagay ko ay nangungumpisal si Soc kay Gaudencio. Kasi ay bistado nila ang bawat isa.
Or baka tayo lang na maliliit at tunay ang sumusunod sa teachings of our church at silang mga lider na sumusuporta sa demonyang tianak ay hindi!
Laughter is the best medicine. Thanks, Rose and TonGue-T for making my day.
May kuwentong kumakalat ngayon sa business circuit kaugnay pa rin ng kontrobersyal na ‘broadband deal’…
Habang naglalaro ng golf sa China, pagpalo ng isang ZTE Corp. official, may sumigaw na “kick right! kick right!” At pumunta nga sa kanan ang golf ball.
Sumunod naman na pumalo ang isang representative ng ZTE Corp. Paglipad ng bola may sumigaw naman ng “kick left! kick left!” At gumulong na pakaliwa ng green ang bola.
Nang pumalo naman ang isang Comelec official mula sa Pilipinas, medyo napalakas ang kanyang palo at sosobra sa butas, kaya bigla siyang napasigaw na “KICK BACK! KICK BACK!”
HAHAHA!, Galing niyan, maarte.
Tanong Tongue, magkano ang para kay Tabatsoy diyan? A friend told me that his uncle, a governor in a province up north was offered by the Tabatsoy with a project to be used for soliciting grants from Japan, etc. Tanong ko bakit si Tabatsoy ang nakikialam diyan when he is supposed to be a private person even when the wife is acting as president of the Philippine Republic?
Never heard of the husband of Margaret Thatcher doing the same when she was PM of UK. Alam ko si Imelda, pakialamera rin but she had a position in the government at least. Iyong Tabatsoy, kahit i-designate ni unano, walang gustong mag-OK ng appointment ng tungaw!
Chi,
Sabi nga ng mga kaibigan ko, obvious na raw na malapit nang lumala ang dementia ni Brenda. Iyan ang napala ng isang may lihim na itinatago.
Sabi ng kamag-anak kong pulis, duda daw nilang may foul play iyong pagkamatay ng anak. Anyway, makaligtas man sila sa paghuhukom ng tao, hindi naman sila makakaligtas sa paghuhukom ng Panginoon.
“Wala sa lugar ang dunong ni Brenda.”
diego, kelan ba naman naging matino ang mga argumento ni miriam defensor santigago?
magaling lang manduro ‘yan.
sabi ko nga sa inyo pagod na ang dyanitor ng senado sa pamumulot ng nalalaglag na turnilyo mula sa ulo ng tagapagtanggol na ‘yan ng katulad niyang babaeng baliw na namamahay sa malakanyang.
maarte,
welkam sa liga ng mga may tililing paminsanminsan!
kasama ka na namin nina tongue, cocoy, chi atbp.
Magno,
I really like this apt description of a janitor’s job in the Senate, spot on!
“pagod na ang dyanitor ng senado sa pamumulot ng nalalaglag na turnilyo mula sa ulo”
Magno: sabi ko nga sa inyo pagod na ang dyanitor ng senado sa pamumulot ng nalalaglag na turnilyo mula sa ulo ng tagapagtanggol na ‘yan ng katulad niyang babaeng baliw na namamahay sa malakanyang.
*****
Salamat. Natawa ako dito. Naalis ang init ng ulo ko!
Kapag nabasa ito ni Brenda ay titiradurin tayo niyan. Ang bala ng tirador ay mga turnilyo niyang nagkakalaglag sa sahig ng senado.

Neri says Abalos approached him for ZTE deal
Romulo Neri, former secretary-general of the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), said Abalos talked to him about ZTE Corporation.
Neri, as NEDA chief, had to approve the project before it was signed by President Arroyo.
Sources told ABS-CBN and other media organizations that Neri opposed the deal but was offered a bribe of P200 million by Abalos himself to change his mind.
Neri turned down the offer and even told the President about it. Mrs. Arroyo advised him to turn down the bribe but insisted that the deal should be approved.
***
OK, Neri. Patunayan mo sa publiko lahat kapag ipinatawag ka ng Senado. Although naniniwala kami, baka hanggang float mo lang ito at nang hindi ka tuluyang ibasura ni Gloria.
Dahil opisyal pa itong si Neri ay malamang na madiktahan na naman at magtatago lang siya sa ilalim ng Executive Order 464 and Memorandum Circular 108 ni Gloria.
Switik talaga ang Gloria. Kung hindi ba naman siya kasama sa hatian, e ayan at isinumbong na ni Neri si Abalos sa kanya pero ang tanging sinabi ay “huwag mong pirmahan, pero arya pirma!”
Ito namang si Neri ay tiwala pa pala na hindi korap si Gloria, why made sumbong pa! Kakadismaya ka, like Teves!
Susmaryosep, malamang ay natuwa pa si Gloria na hindi tinanggap ni Neri ang P200M para maibulsa rin ni “Small One”.
Pagmasdan niyo ang pagmumukha ni Abalos. Di ba mukhang kurakot at tulisan? Ganyan din ang anyo ng mukha nina Garci at iba pa. Wala bang guwapong tulisan? I got one…former DOJ Secretary Perez.
maarte,
Mukhang tulisanng pangit at guapo ay pareho din kay Corruption Queen Gloria basta pwedeng partners in kurakot and in love.
Guwapong tulisan, si Nani Perez? Matulis na tulisan siguro!
Hindi ko pa nakikita sa person si Nani Perez. Akala ko pa naman kaya the Small One fell in love with him ay guapong tulisan, matulis lang pala. sori.
Ang dami nang nago-offer ng information about Abalos’ participation in the ZTE scam.
Did you know:
-that it wasn’t really a gov’t-to-gov’t deal that Gloria witnessed (my informer says “signed”) in Boao?
-that the MOA was signed at the Airport?
-that it was not covered by Chinese media as it was unofficial in nature (but the amount alone should have made it as a major biznews item)?
-that there was really no contract stolen; there isn’t any in the first place?
-that there are already 6 public admissions related to Abalos’ brokering for ZTE:
1. Abalos’ admission of bringing ZTE offcials to Teves’ residence;
2. Abalos’ admission of attending a meeting between ZTE, Teves and Mendoza at Wack-Wack;
3. Abalos’ admission of playing golf with ZTE officials in Wack-Wack and China;
4. JDV’s admission of his son’s refusal of the $10M bribe from Abalos;
5. Neri’s admission on Abalos’ participation, never mind if he did not clearly point to him as the one who offered the P200M bribe;
6. Abalos’ admission that he was soliciting ZTE’s help for her daughter’s business;
These, aside of course from those that would be made public by Lacson’s witness, or from Neri himself, or Teves, should the latter two participate in the Senate probe.
-that the real purpose of the early flight, despite the critical state of the Pig, was to fast-track the collection of advance commissions, if possible, to include that portion to be used for the elections?
-that ZTE is just a small player in China’s ICT industry compared to that Chinese company which Joey De Venecia’s Amsterdam Holdings deals with in its projects across Southeast Asia. very much different from what we were made to believe about ZTE?
This deal has the “Arroyo” imprimatur written all over it. Abalos could just be a small player, the first line of defense in this labyrinth that leads to a mountain of gold, guarded by an intricately-spun web of lies and deceit only the Devil herself, er, himself is capable of.
Thanks for summing that up, Tongue.
Laro talaga ito ni Big One n’ Little One. Sila lang ang may kakayahang gumawa ng ganito ka-elaborate na illegal transactions.
I wonder if Neri would have the moral courage to do what is right today and to spill the beans…
Isn’t there anyone – ONE PERSON – with honour in Gloria’s cabinet of weasels?
maybe neri has honour but he is tanga.walang gamot diyan kahit anong degree ang naabot niya.siguro doktor kagaw din iyan.
Anna n’ Norpil,
Neri is just playing, he doesn’t have the balls, figuratively and literally, to spill the beans and make the tianak throw him back to Tongress.
Neri and Pat Sto. Tomas were the ones bumaligtad when the Hyatt 10 withdrew support for their president? Originally, it’s Hyatt 12.
Ah, really?
Naku, sige gawin ng pulutan din iyang Neri na iyan pag di siya nagsabi ng totoo!
